------------------------------------------------------------
The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is a devastating blow, upending a fundamental right that had been guaranteed for fifty years. Legal access to abortion will now vary state to state, depriving millions of Americans of control over their own bodies and over essential decisions for themselves and their families. These immediate harms will fall disproportionately on people of color.
Organizations across the country are working to navigate this new patchwork of state laws and ensure that access to safe and effective abortion care remains available to as many people as possible. They are also striving for broader reproductive justice and equity, which includes both the right not to have children and the right to have and raise children in safe and healthy environments. Our team is in touch with dozens of organizations to identify impactful ways for volunteer lawyers to help secure these rights.
You’ll find below an opportunity to support their work, and we hope you will consider signing up. To have more projects delivered right to your inbox, please also make sure you’ve selected “Reproductive Justice” as a cause you care about in your We The Action profile ([link removed]) .
